This authentic OEM sourced replacement part is specially designed for Porter Cable sanders. The capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device used to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. It provides leading current in AC circuits. In a DC circuit, the capacitor once charged with the applied voltage acts as an open switch. This is an identical replacement for a missing or a faulty component that was installed on a new unit. Please make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams for your model to ensure the correct repair. Keep in mind this high-quality item is sold individually.

My sander was mounted to a table so to access the removable panel on the bottom of the unit, it first had to be unbolted from the table. Next step was to remove the bottom panel, 4 phillips screws. I opted to replace both capacitors since I could see that one was leaking and suspected that the other one was probably strained. One was secu
... Read morered by a nut on the end of it, the other held by a band clamp, several minutes to swap them out, take note of where the wires are fastened, however, they are AC, so it shouldn\'t matter. I also purchased a relay, but didnGÇÖt need it and will save for future. I did a quick test with the bottom panel off and it ran great, so I installed the bottom panel, re bolted the sander to the table and I am back in business. One thing to note, the parts received were exact replacements, not cheap substitutes, buy with confidence.
Removed wires from switch and both capacitors replaced capacitors and put wires back on switch tested operations and amp draws. Sander starts and runs great now.
Determined that relay designed to drop out starting capacitor, after belt sander motor was started, didnGÇÖt isolate the start capacitor from the run circuit. Replacing relay and capacitor solved the problem.
The capacitor went in but the tool showed additional issues. Waiting on the maker of this tool for Porter Cable Company to call. The tool was manufactured April 2018. Has not been used much since buying it a year ago.
